Abstract
This paper dwells on how media create a global world, which in turn creates global thought, resulting in all the citizens on this planet living in the so called “telepolis”. This globalization implies certain changes in of character in people, being the most important the concept of telling true from false, and also the personalization of all social relationships. Besides, living increasingly inside virtual realities provokes a distinction between mind, body and machine, enabling the rise of a new type of human being, not human, if more like posthuman.
